Abstract
The contents of Corg, humiс acids (HA), and fulvic acids (FA) in soil and riverine and marine bottom sediments have been investigated along a transect between the Razdolnaya River and Amur Bay. The revealed higher Corg content of soil compared to that of riverine and marine sediments is associated with peatlands. The increased HA content of sediments compared to the FA content, corresponding to the initial period of water mixing, is explained by flocculation. The identified riverine sediments with increased FA, Fe, and Mn contents indicate active processes of flocculation and the formation of Fe and Mn oxyhydroxides. Soil shows significantly larger amounts of humified organic matter than marine sediments. Marine sediments contain mostly biochemically unrecycled organic matter.
